Hello!

Since the Guix snapshot update to 0.13.0-9.ff23b47, "guile2.0-guix"
fails to build due to a test timeout:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/guile2.0-guix-0.13.0-9.ff23b47.x86_64-linux

I bisected this down to this commit:

commit a2985bb101faac9f085176e0329488b91b81dfb5
Author: Ludovic Courtès <ludo <at> gnu.org>
Date:   Thu Nov 9 23:29:39 2017 +0100

    ui: Provide hints for unbound-variable errors.
    
    * guix/ui.scm (known-variable-definition): New procedure.
    (report-load-error): Handle 'unbound-variable'.

I also noticed that when compiling (guix ui), I get this warning:

warning: unknown warning type `macro-use-before-definition'

...which is helpfully annotated with "new in 2.2" in (guix build compile).

So it seems to be a case of the unbound variable handler failing to
handle this unbound variable, when running tests/guix-package.sh:335.

Any ideas for how to progress?  I'm a little out of my depth here :-)

Yeah, this one’s harmless.

It was running in circles.
Fixed in b5bfa4773d50b12ec7e71e89892474e7f3c679ba!

Thanks,
